Does anyone know what the deal is with the 2nd status LED, the one on the left of the earpiece. What is it for?
Thats the bluetooth LED.
my bluetooth is on, and ive never noticed it blinking. under what circumstances does it blink?
Ive wondered this same thing ever since Ive gotten this phone... I have never seen it blink and with bt the right one is lit for me...
I activated my phone yesterday and received maybe 30 or so texts since then. The notification light only lit up after one of them, which i received a few hours ago. When I got the phone I just assumed it would light up for texts like my g1 did but after it didnt i was disappointed.
So, is the green light on the right supposed to light up for text/email/voicemail/etc...notifications? thanks and sorry for asking such a stupid question and doing it in the wrong thread
The light sensor is on the left, LED on the right. If you put backlight to auto you can test by coverint the left side.
is there even an auto for brightness?or is it during calls only?
confused
i don't have this backlight auto settings.
where can i enable that?
i just have a slider where i can change the brightness manually
yeah where is that setting for auto backlight, i would love to have that.
Settings -> Display -> disable Auto Brightness, and tap it off..
i dont have that.
maybe the mytouch didnt come with that sensor?
me neither.
i dont have that option there.

dude, as far as I know the Magic doesnt have any light senson.
the option quoted above doesnt exist
I don't think so
This has been the second time I have heard the one on the left is a light sensor by two different people , Maybe it is a light sensor but maybe some of the stock versions of android like mine {Vodafone UK 32B board} currently doesn't support the hardware??
I can see both the LEDs alright but the there is no obvious way to set the one on the left as far as I know.
Italian (TIM) HTC Magic (32A).
i now upgraded to hero rom and voila, the option is there.

Which model do you have? As far as I know, the Hero is the only device that has the light sensor, that's why the auto-backlight feature is only available in the Hero roms and not the stock Magic/Sapphire/MyTouch roms... I don't even think that the other thing is an LED, it looks like one but I'm sure I read somewhere that someone opened up his device to check and noticed that there are no wires connecting it up to anything!

does it work?
The Magic/Sapphire does NOT have a light sensor. The Hero is currently the only Android device with a sensor thats why you see that option with a Hero ROM.
no it doesnt work. as my predecessor already noticed
hello
my sgs2 have a problem he brings a light by my camera the proximity sensor.
and he brings red light what is this is this a wetness warning or what?
my olde sgs2 hes in the water falls. and i have a new sgs2. only he gives to red light in the sensor and he was wet.
is that the problem or what?
Ehh.. What?

My sensor gives red light the proximity sensor. Sorry for my english. Id this normal?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
He is saying his proximity sensor is red. Mine is red too. I think its normal. I can only see it when its dark though
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep, very weak red light is normal. That's because it rather bright near infrared light.
Okay i can see i call and sometime when my phone is in standby have anyone this problem?
And when i test the sensor with AndroSensor than can i see rhe redlight. Some people says on a forum that the sensor cans see of the phone wet is with water...

My proximity sensor will lit up the red light whenever I open up TalkBox app, I don't understand why as that app doesn't even use proximity sensor, maybe a bug or coding error in the program.

i guess its a wetness sensor.. as i just experienced this issue some time back...
i had just taken a bath n my cell starting ringing, i went ahead n received the call without drying myself. As soon as i ended the call my screen went off, there was this red light coming out of one of the sensors, and the phone wasn't even switching on. I had to remove the batteries and place them back after which it started like normal.

Talkbox uses the proximity sensor to determine how you are listening to your messages. If you hold the phone up to your ear then it will play the message through the earpiece. If you hold it away from your face then it will use the speaker.

It may be a bug or something... Did you try updating your phone, or flashing a new stock/custom ROM to see if the problem remains ?
Proximity sensor which is located beside the front facing camera will always be activated whenever you're in a call. It's slightly red in colour, and more noticable in a dark room. To see the proximity sensor in action you can go to the phone dialer and key in *#0*# and it will bring up the LCD test. Select sensor and you can see the red light of the proximity sensor being lit up. Hover your finger or an object over the proximity sensor (need not to be covering the sensor) and the phone will vibrate and so will the background change to green.

Lol at you... Did you even bother reading the first page of the thread ? Guess not, since you're just repeating what we already told the guy
It may seem like a totally noob question but I've searched all over and I can't find anything. Even in the lg g2 user guide, there is a picture but not any piece of information. I would like to know what is this circle right to the proximity/light sensors and left to the earpiece. thank you.

Notification LED
Looking in, from left: front-cam, light-sensor, LED notification, earpiece.
Ι've disabled notification Led since 3 days ago when I bought the phone and I couldn't figure it out. I guess it should be there in the first place in the user guide page 36 in phone overview : http://support.bell.ca/_web/Guides/User-Guides/Mobile/LG/LG-EN/LG-G2-user-guide.pdf
Thank you guys and sorry for the silly question.

yea just looked at the pdf and was interesting to notice it doesn't point out that it's the notification led, one could think the phone doesn't have one looking at this
But didn't you see RED when plugging to charge?

well he had disabled the led so it would be very difficult to know while its disabled
Maybe I'm too old to remember but for some reason, I thought even disabling LED notification (disable the color blinking) but red LED always lit at least for a moment when we plug it in for charging.
Anyway, I have to check it again.

nope not with the g2 if the led is disabled then it doesn't light up for nothing(I just checked to make sure I don't say something dumb)
Wait a second people just wait a second. looking from left to right this is what i have. Camera, proximity sensor, unknown little circle within the same oblong opening as the prox sensor, and finally the notification LED.
What is next to the sensor?
[EDIT]
Sorry,i guess it would be the light sensor right?

You were right, if disabling LED notification, there would be no red LED when plugging for charge.

Hello everyone ... Can someone help me please... I have my s5 for a few days ... And now I saw that my proximity sensor Is always on, I can see the red light even if my phone is locked... And I'm worried that is using my battery I got 5 or 6 h display max with 1 day of usage
Proximity sensor doesn't utilize a red light. Maybe you have a malfunctioning notification light?
Notification light is on the left. Proximity and light sensors are on the right.

It is on the right side... I barrely see it... But it s there and I know when is not on..... And trust me I'm not a NOOB
U can see it just in very low light.... At night )
Yup! Have noticed that with other phones too. It will be a very faint glow that you can see in the dark. I've seen it on at times too but it hasn't affected function so I never gave it a second thought

This is not a concern. The proximity sensor is an infra red sensor and emits a faint amount of visible red light. All of the S5's do that, it's normal and it is no barrier to great battery life.
If you did a forum search you would find existing threads where this has been asked and answered before. The glow probably represents the average bias current as the sensor periodically polls it's environment every x ms. In any event it's normal and expected behaviour.

Thank you man... I was just worried because after I restart, it doesn't remain on and it s ok for some time (I think) ... And I can't see that infrared light... But after some time it stay on always )
After a fresh reboot, there may not be any apps using the proximity sensor. But a lot of apps do make use of it, so as soon as you use an app that does, the sensor will start monitoring and there will be that glow.
I don't think that the sensor uses much battery in most apps as mine is usually on. Even my screensaver makes use of the sensor and I still get great battery life.

My OnePlus 5 has a slight red tint on the bottom half of the screen which is especially noticeable on white background at high brightness.
What's weird is though when I watch a video on YouTube even for just 30 seconds or so the tint disappears.
It comes back after 5-10 seconds though like color settings get changed or something.
Does that mean if I use an app like kcal to calibrate the display and make the tint go away?
I only ask because I know next to nothing about rooting and I don't wanna screw anything up.
I think you turned night mode on then the screen gets an red tint.

No because it's a defective AMOLED issue I guess. I would have just returned it if I had noticed it before. Hopefully I can make it less annoying using kcal.
